Shy little girl...

She looks a little shy here, but the purpose of the picture was not to smile, since her lips were painted like a heart shape. Great eye contact!

Suzy captured the light great here, taken a bit from above, which is her favorite position. And I must say a lot of pictures like this come out great!

What do you think of the picture? Give us your comments, we appreciate it :-)

I'm new to you... but as someone from the visual arts, here's my take.

It is beautiful. And she is beautiful. Great expression. I'm shooting an 8 yr old girl and wondered how to capture her soul and seriousness. Now I know!

But, here's my observation/opinion and I REALLY hope I don't offend you. Please forgive me if I do. With the sticks in her hair and the V-wrap style of the top, the heart mouth reminds me more of a geisha than a mime. Which I suspect was intentional. The deep V of the top is a bit disturbing to me since Geisha are after all, in the sex trade.

It was my intention to photograph her as a geisha. Although more as a artistic point of view...
